This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.
You cannot get a planning consent if it goes against certain rules. These rules include regulations and special conditions called wāhi tapu conditions. You also cannot get a consent if it breaks section 55(2) of the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011. You cannot get a planning consent if it should have been made public but was not. This is another reason why a consent authority might not give you a planning consent. They have to follow these rules when deciding whether to grant a consent. A consent authority's job is to make sure planning consents follow the rules. They must not grant a consent if it does not meet these conditions. This is to ensure that planning consents are given fairly and correctly.
